Time for school! The Sea Keepers attend a very special underwater school in this magical new series about saving our oceans.
It's time for baby sea turtles to be born, but the beach is covered in rubbish! The Sea Keepers need to clean up the sand before the eggs hatch. But not everyone wants to help the baby sea turtles . . . Evil siren Effluvia has sent vicious ghost crabs to gobble them up! Can Emily, Grace and Layla find a magic pearl to get the hatchlings safely to Sea Turtle School? Or will Effluvia beat them to it?
My daughter loves mermaids so I thought I'd give this series a go. She loves it! The pace is good, the chapters are the right length for a six-year-old and there are intermittent illustrations to add interest. Book 4 has some adorable illustrations of baby turtles! The pace is not as quick as Zanna Davidson's "Fairy Ponies" and "Fairy Unicorns" books, but it is still great fun. There is an evil siren called Efluvia who keeps things exciting. But what I love about these books is the strong environmental message, where each book explores a particular environmental issue. The author has also made an effort to make her characters inclusive, and each character has unique strengths and weaknesses, without being defined by them. Overall, a good read, and we were excited to continue reading the series.
